Season 5 has been anything but dull. A wedding, an arrest, Lady Mary takes romance for a ride, and Sunday should wrap up the season. The season finale airs on Sunday, but let’s backtrack to what all these cheeky devils are up to. Rose got married. Scotland Yard’s Inspector Vyner arrested Anna — Anna? Yes, Anna! For…

I got a cortisone shot in the knee yesterday, and I feel better already. Why did I go for the shot? That dirty word arthritis crept into my vocabulary years ago when my knees started hurting. It started with dull aches, tightness and swelling. A few years ago, X-rays revealed arthritis but nothing severe enough…

This week, I got to revisit Walten Woods where homes…

And apparently if you add some cheesecloth, suspend them in the trees or from your porch ceiling or hang them on posts in the yard, you can have…
